25 Foot Square Steel Light Pole | 4 Inches Wide | Anchor Base

Product Overview

This 25 foot square steel light pole is designed for exterior area lighting applications requiring elevated mounting heights and robust structural support. The 4 inch wide, 11 gauge steel shaft provides a balance of strength and manageable weight for typical parking lot, roadway, and commercial site installations. Anchor base mounting allows for secure attachment to concrete foundations, supporting both new construction and retrofit projects. The pole is hot dip galvanized and powder coated for corrosion resistance in outdoor environments.

Commonly used to support LED area lights, shoebox fixtures, or flood lights, this pole is suitable for mounting heights where uniform light distribution and site coverage are required. The included 2 3/8 inch tenon accommodates standard slipfitter and bracket mounts. Typical installations include parking lots, commercial campuses, and perimeter roadway lighting.

Core Performance and Output

This pole supports a total mounting height of 25 feet, providing adequate elevation for wide-area illumination and minimizing shadowing in open lots or along roadways. The 4 inch square profile and 11 gauge wall thickness deliver a structural EPA rating of 8.9 at 70 mph, decreasing to 2.2 at 120 mph. This allows for the installation of multiple fixtures or larger luminaires, provided total EPA and weight limits are not exceeded.

Wind load performance is suitable for most commercial and municipal environments, but fixture selection and orientation must be coordinated with local wind zone requirements. Excessive fixture EPA or mounting accessories may reduce allowable wind load capacity. The pole?s hot dip galvanized and powder coated finish extends service life in standard outdoor conditions.

Adjustability and Control Options

The pole is supplied with a 2 3/8 inch tenon, compatible with most slipfitter and adjustable bracket mounts for area and roadway lighting. This allows for flexible aiming and fixture orientation during installation. The square shaft profile supports direct drilling for custom bracket or arm attachments if required.

No integrated wiring, control, or access provisions are included. All fixture-level controls, sensors, or wiring must be managed at the luminaire or junction box level. The pole does not include hand holes or access panels; conduit entry and wiring access should be planned at the base or through external junction boxes.

Longevity and Reliability

The steel shaft is hot dip galvanized prior to powder coating, providing a dual-layer corrosion barrier against weather exposure and deicing chemicals. This finish combination is standard for commercial exterior poles and supports long-term reliability in most climates. The anchor base design allows for straightforward inspection and replacement if required.

Routine inspection of base hardware and finish condition is recommended to maintain structural integrity. The 1 year warranty covers material and manufacturing defects. No moving parts or integrated electronics are present, minimizing maintenance requirements beyond periodic cleaning and inspection.

Build Quality and Physical Characteristics

The pole is fabricated from 11 gauge steel, with a 4 inch square cross-section and a total weight of 190 lbs. The anchor base is designed for an 8 inch bolt circle and 2.75 inch bolt projection, compatible with standard foundation hardware. The finish is available in bronze or white powder coat over galvanized steel.

The included tenon is welded to the top of the shaft for secure fixture mounting. The pole is intended for upright installation on concrete foundations using anchor bolts (not included). No hand holes or base covers are supplied as standard. The pole is suitable for use with most commercial-grade area and roadway luminaires within the stated EPA and weight limits.

Where This Product Fits Best

This pole is intended for exterior environments where elevated mounting heights and robust structural support are required. Typical settings include commercial parking lots, roadway perimeters, and large open areas on commercial or institutional sites. The finish and construction are suitable for standard outdoor exposure, but not for coastal or highly corrosive environments without additional protection.

• dealership lighting

The pole?s height and EPA ratings support a range of area and roadway lighting layouts. Environmental suitability includes most non-coastal, non-marine outdoor locations. For installations in high wind zones, verify EPA compliance with local requirements.

Installation and Long-Term Use

Installation requires a properly sized concrete foundation with anchor bolts set to the specified bolt circle and projection. The pole is lifted and set over the anchor bolts, then secured with base hardware. The 2 3/8 inch tenon allows for direct mounting of compatible fixtures or brackets. All wiring must be routed through the base or external conduit as no hand hole is provided.

Long-term use involves periodic inspection of the base, finish, and mounting hardware. The galvanized and powder coated finish reduces maintenance frequency, but touch-up may be needed if the coating is damaged. The pole is not designed for direct burial or for use in environments with high salt exposure without additional protective measures.

How This Fixture Is Commonly Used

This pole is typically installed at 25 foot mounting heights to support one or more area or roadway luminaires. Common layouts include single, double, or quad fixture configurations, depending on site lighting requirements and EPA limits. Spacing between poles is determined by fixture output, site geometry, and desired light levels.

In parking lots and commercial sites, poles are often spaced 3 to 5 times the mounting height for uniform coverage. Higher mounting heights can reduce fixture count but may require higher output luminaires and careful glare management. EPA and weight limits must be observed when selecting fixtures and accessories.

Safety, Certifications, and Warranty

This steel light pole is manufactured to meet standard commercial structural requirements for exterior lighting support. EPA ratings are provided for wind speeds from 70 to 120 mph. The pole is hot dip galvanized and powder coated for corrosion resistance. No additional safety or electrical certifications apply to the pole itself.

The product includes a 1 year warranty covering material and manufacturing defects. All installations must comply with local codes and engineering requirements for foundation design and wind loading. No integrated electrical or safety features are included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum fixture EPA this pole can support?

A: The maximum allowable fixture EPA is 8.9 at 70 mph, decreasing to 2.2 at 120 mph. Total EPA includes all fixtures, brackets, and accessories.

Q: Does the pole include anchor bolts or a base cover?

A: Anchor bolts and base covers are not included. These must be sourced separately to match the specified bolt circle and projection.

Q: Is this pole suitable for coastal or marine environments?

A: The standard galvanized and powder coated finish is not intended for coastal or high-salt environments without additional protection.

Q: Can this pole be direct buried?

A: This model is designed for anchor base installation only and is not suitable for direct burial.

Q: How should I plan pole spacing for parking lot lighting?

A: Typical spacing is 3 to 5 times the mounting height, but actual layout depends on fixture output, site geometry, and required light levels.

Application Questions and Clarification

Q: Can this pole support multiple fixtures at the top?

A: Yes, as long as the combined EPA and weight of all fixtures and brackets do not exceed the pole?s rated limits for the local wind zone.

Q: Is the tenon compatible with standard slipfitter mounts?

A: The 2 3/8 inch tenon is compatible with most standard slipfitter and bracket mounts used for area and roadway lighting.

Q: Are hand holes or access panels included for wiring?

A: No hand holes or access panels are included. Wiring access must be planned at the base or through external junction boxes.

Q: What maintenance is required for the pole finish?

A: Periodic inspection and cleaning are recommended. Touch-up may be needed if the finish is damaged to maintain corrosion resistance.
